Celebrating 40 years of Richard Avedon’s In the American West, the Carter is presenting 40 works from the series accompanied by behind-the-scenes archival material of Avedon’s acclaimed portraits.
Re/Framed gives visitors to the Carter a new way to look at the Carter’s collection. Several times a year, artwork will be rotated allowing guests to see the works through a different lens.
Beverly Pepper’s Curvae in Curvae is the fourth installation of the Carter’s outdoor sculpture initiative, a program launched in 2022 to activate the Museum’s grounds.
East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art explores the artistic impact of the migration of people across the Pacific Ocean and their role in shaping American art and culture. The exhibition features artworks by over 32 Asian American artists that span from the mid-19th century through the present day, including ceramics, drawings, paintings, photographs, and prints.
Jean Shin is the next contemporary artist to transform the Museum’s first floor sloping gallery with a new site-specific commission. For her installation at the Carter, Shin will create a textile-based portrait of the Museum, through clothing items donated by the Carter’s employees and shape these elements into a large-scale wall mural with immersive hanging elements that will activate the gallery walls and ceiling.
The Carter houses one of the great collections of American art, from historical landscapes captured on canvas to city streets seen through the lens of a camera. We’re regularly changing out these works, so each time you visit, you know you’ll encounter something you haven’t seen before.
